Any readers travelling to Euro Zone countries over the next few months ?

If so Snoman advises you to follow the GPB vs EURO exchange rates for travellers over the next few weeks -it's presently sitting at an all time high for several years

I predict it might even go higher before plateauing - the flattening out or drop will undoubtedly be as a result of our money brokers having concerns about who might be in power as the result of the GE in May !!! (No predictions from snoman regarding this - YET !!)

If any of you are planning trips to Euro countries and have 'flash cash' then you should consider buying some euros over the next coming weeks - but remember you can also charge credit style cards for use often at no additional cost - (have tried and like )

Gavin,A couple of questions -1) What is "flash cash" ? This smacks of money laundering.2) Why do some of the words in your posting appear in dark purple characters ?We will be visiting France shortly so will follow up your advice on the Euro rate.

Gavin,It beats me to know why 72 visits have been made to this inane exchange.Perhaps it's a welcome relief from the more serious stuff.I don't think our administrator approves of anything of a frivolous nature.It took me a few doodles to work out the significance of "P155" ( do you make these up yourself, or am I just out of touch with the current vernacular?) - but not guilty of taking it.As to the purple capital letters in your original message - they had all disappeared by the time I accessed it again to check that we had a clean bill of health on the content being free of anything objectionable.

So maybe there is a sense of humour lurking somewhere within our administrator - he of the godlike powers.But in a previous correspondence he alluded to "bots" as disinterested parties who accessed these hallowed forum chronicles, and were not true followers of the wisdom (or frivolity) or the illustrious content, being purveyed.It would be interesting to know (if our almighty -his own words- administrator) has the information on what proportion of the hits to these musings are genuine people who follow the outpourings with avid curiosity, and what are nameless "bots" who make us think that we have an audience "out there".A serious question for you there NB, in amongst all the frivolity, but worthy of your consideration.Gavin - apologies for the digression from what was an interesting exchange of pleasantries - but who knows where this particular thread might lead.

Thanks Gavin for the update.Got my first batch of euros today at 1.27 - last summer I was getting 1.16 so things are looking up.And with pump prices still depressed, getting there will only cost an arm instead of an arm and a leg.There is an old saying "Make hay while the sun shines". but I reckon that haymaking should seize every opportunity, regardless of the weather - especially despite some of the rubbish that has been dished up recently.

Bill - you mention booze at football grounds - an issue with you ( and Mr Salmond) currently ?

What are YOUR personal thoughts on this - and please do not quote the SNP viewpoint as published in the Scotsman today !!!!

I used to find it hilarious several years ago that I could go and watch Glasgow Warriors playing rugby at Firhill on a Friday night and have a pint and return to the same venue 48 hrs later and .............. Zero - enough said !!!

Is it not time to revisit this after 30 years

Strange that Mr Salmond feels that the SNP and their supporters believe that Scots are somehow morally superior to the English, but the English can be trusted with alcohol and the Scots can't!
